Media Number -RENR8261-23

Alternator - Remove and Install

SMCS - 1405-010

Removal Procedure

Personal injury can result from failure to disconnect the battery.

First, disconnect the negative battery cable. Then, disconnect the positive battery cable.

A positive power lead cancause sparksif the battery is not disconnected. Sparks can possibly result in battery explosion or fire.

1. Disconnect the batteries.

2. Remove the alternator belt.

3. Place identification marks on all of the harnessassemblies.

4. Disconnect the harness assemblies from terminal (4) and terminal (5).

5. Remove bolt (3) and the harness assembly from alternator (2).

6. Remove bolts (1). Remove alternator (2).

7. If necessary, remove nut (6) and remove the pulley from the alternator.

Installation Procedure

Illustration 2 g06116692

1. If necessary, install the pulley on alternator (2). Install nut (6). Tighten the nut to a torque of 127 ± 10 N·m (94 ± 7 lb ft).

2. Position alternator (2) on the alternator mounting bracket. Install bolts (1).

3. Connect the harness assembly to alternator (2) and install bolt (3). Tighten the bolt to a torque of 4.4 ± 1.0 N·m (39 ± 9 lb in).

4. Connect the harness assembly to terminal (5). Tighten the nut to a torque of 18 ± 2 N·m (13 ± 2 lb ft).

5. Connect the harness assembly to terminal (4).

6. Install the alternator belt.

7. Connect the batteries.

NOTICE

i05977048

Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.

Note: Cat does not recommend the checking of the actual bearing clearancesparticularly on small engines. Thisisbecause of the possibility of obtaining inaccurate results and the possibility of damaging the bearing or the journal surfaces. Each Cat engine bearing is quality checked for specific wall thickness.

Note: The measurements should be within specifications and the correct bearings should be used. If the crankshaft journals and the bores for the block and the rods were measured during disassembly, no further checks are necessary. However, if the technician still wants to measure the bearing clearances, Tooling (A) is an acceptable method. Tooling (A) is less accurate on journalswith small diametersif clearancesare less than 0.10 mm (0.004 inch).

NOTICE

Lead wire, shim stock or a dial bore gauge can damage the bearing surfaces.

The technician must be very careful to use Tooling (A) correctly. The following points must be remembered:

• Ensure that the backs of the bearings and the bores are clean and dry.

• Ensure that the bearing locking tabs are properly seated in the tab grooves.

• The crankshaft must be free of oil at the contact pointsof Tooling (A).

1. Put a piece of Tooling (A) on the crown of the bearing that is in the cap.

Note: Do not allow Tooling (A) to extend over the edge of the bearing.

2. Use the correct torque-turn specifications in order to install the bearing cap. Do not use an impact wrench. Be careful not to dislodge the bearing when the cap isinstalled.

Note: Do not turn the crankshaft when Tooling (A) is installed.

3. Carefully remove the cap, but do not remove Tooling (A). Measure the width of Tooling (A) while Tooling (A) is in the bearing cap or on the crankshaft journal. Refer to Illustration 1.

Illustration 1 g01152855

TypicalExample

4. Remove all of Tooling (A) before you install the bearing cap.

Note: When Tooling (A) is used, the readings can sometimes be unclear. For example, all parts of Tooling (A) are not the same width. Measure the major width in order to ensure that the parts are within the specification range. Refer to SpecificationsManual, "Connecting Rod Bearing Journal" and Specifications Manual, "Main Bearing Journal" for the correct clearances.
